This app is the only one in the world that can calculate the overall glycemic index of a meal. It will allow you to enjoy your favorite sweet foods while suggesting what else to eat with them to achieve a good glycemic index DietSensor is backed by nutrition science. Some users have reversed their type 2 diabetes and reduced insulin resistance. ● 1. You will learn how to lower your insulin needs: you will find out before each meal, whether the blood sugar peak it will trigger will be high or not, and DietSensor will allow you to correct this meal with the right combinations of food in a few clicks, while maintaining great food freedom. ● 2. If you are overweight, you will reprogram your metabolism by intelligently using your hormones to trigger the loss of body fat. The peak in blood sugar after a meal is the main contributor to fat storage. By lowering these blood sugar spikes, you decrease the associated insulin spikes and sugar storage as fat. You also reduce cravings by avoiding snacking between meals and you will leave room for your metabolism to do its destocking job. ● 3. You will have indications on the quantities, to control your calorie intake and give you every chance that your metabolism acts effectively towards the weight you are aiming for. ● 4. You will easily learn which are the ideal foods to combine to make tasty, low glycemic index and low insulin index meals, without the need to cook if you don't want to. Unlike light, bland and boring diets, you can eat natural, tasty and nutritious foods that you like such as meat, eggs, cheese or chocolate. ● 5. You won't have to wonder about your shopping lists or what to prepare for the next meal, or follow menus if you don't want to. You will also get food suggestions from the app. ● 6. Finally, nothing better to significantly reduce your insulin resistance than walking every day or practicing physical activity. Track your steps and activities in the app. DIETSENSOR ADAPTS TO YOUR GOAL ● Are you on insulin?

Carb Pilot is designed to make it quick and easy to get carbohydrate (carb) counts, without having to look up restaurant nutritional menus or dig through rigid meal databases. Use our AI estimator to enter - in plain language - what you're eating, and get back carb counts (and also fat, protein, fiber, and calorie counts, if you choose). You can view your saved estimates in the app, and you can also export your data to HealthKit to be used in other apps or trackers that you already use. Carb Pilot is designed to be easy, getting carb counts in a snap. PRIVACY PRESERVING - Carb Pilot sends the meal description to an AI (large language model) for generating the carb and macronutrient counts, but otherwise your data doesn't leave your device. There is no identifying information collected in the app. EASY TO USE, SAVES YOU CLICKS - Carb Pilot means you don't have to click and click and click to find what you're eating in a meal app database. Simply use the same language you would use to describe your meal to a friend, and get back the estimated macronutrient counts. VOICE ENTRY OPTION - You can use the microphone button - click to start and click when you're done - to tell the system what you're eating. Carb Pilot will grab your transcribed meal description, and you can edit it if needed and send it off to the AI to get your estimates. TRACK WHAT YOU CARE ABOUT - You can get estimates for carbs, fat, protein, fiber, and/or calories. Don't want to see anything but carbs? You can disable and hide the counts on previous meals by changing your preferences in the settings menu any time. CHANGE YOUR MIND - If you change your mind and want to track another macronutrient, simply turn it back on in settings and your previous saved meals will then display that macronutrient, too. REPEAT A MEAL - Eating the same thing again? Swipe on a previous meal entry and select the option to repeat the meal with today's date. Or copy the previous meal's description to the clipboard if you want to slightly tweak it and run it through the estimator again. BUILD A RECIPE -Making a recipe and cooking from scratch? Carb Pilot's recipe builder feature allows you to get estimates on each ingredient, adjust them, and then indicate how many portions the recipe makes and how much you're eating now - or save it for future. SHARE A RECIPE OR MEAL -You track carbs, they track protein, and you're cooking dinner. You can share any logged meal or recipe from your Carb Pilot with another Carb Pilot user, who can save and adjust it for their own tracking purposes. DELETE A MEAL EASILY - You can swipe and delete a previous meal, too. INTERNET CONNECTIVITY - (Please do note that the AI meal estimation feature does require AI connectivity and will not work offline. However, you can still change your in-app settings and view your data while offline, and also log your meals manually.) MANUAL LOGGING, IF YOU WANT - Click the plus button and add a manual entry if you know the counts in what you're eating. By using this app, you agree to Carb Pilot's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
